A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Librewolf and the "EME-free" builds of Firefox are the two I know of. You can also set
media.eme.enabledandbrowser.eme.ui.enabledto false in any Firefox-based browser.I use standard Firefox, how do i set those to false? Are they settings?
They've removed the ability to do it through the normal settings menu a few years ago, so you'd have to type
about:configin the Firefox url bar and do it there. You'll get a warning about how dangerous it is, and then you can type the names of preferences you want to change and double-click on them when they appear to turn those ones on or off. Turning off EME can be safely done without any side effects, but it's not recommended to change anything else in there unless you know what it does.It would mean you can't watch e.g. Netflix and some TV station websites won't be able to play video — although I've found that on others, the TV programs play just fine but the ads don't work.
